AI-generated answers, 18 Sep 2026
What is the primary clinical purpose of the Cook Pacemaker 216 Bipolar Cardiac, and who should consider using it?
The Cook Pacemaker 216 Bipolar Cardiac is designed to regulate heart rhythm by delivering electrical impulses to treat patients with bradycardia or other cardiac conduction disorders requiring pacing support. It is intended for single-use implantation by qualified healthcare professionals in patients whose heart rate is too slow or irregular, ensuring consistent pacing when the heart’s natural rhythm fails.
Is this device reusable, or is it meant for one-time use after implantation?
This device is explicitly intended for single-use after implantation. The packaging is sterile, and it is not designed or cleared for reuse, ensuring patient safety and compliance with medical device standards.
How should the Cook Pacemaker 216 Bipolar Cardiac be stored to maintain its integrity?
The device must be stored in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions to preserve sterility and functionality. Since it is sterile upon supply, proper storage conditions—such as avoiding contamination, extreme temperatures, or physical damage—are critical to ensure it remains viable for implantation.
Can this device be used in patients who require MRI scans, or does it pose any risks?
The Cook Pacemaker 216 Bipolar Cardiac is not MRI-safe, meaning it should not be used in patients who require MRI imaging. The magnetic fields generated during MRI procedures can interfere with or damage the device, posing serious risks to the patient.
What regulatory pathway was followed for this device’s clearance, and which committee reviewed it?
This device was cleared through the FDA’s 510(k) pathway under the classification of a Class III medical device, with a Traditional review.
